Phillip Adam's Ballet Lab is the current tenant at the Temperance Hall. The journey to establish the company and find somewhere to explore and create has been a long one for Mr P and his company. Now, though, they have found a safe harbour and invested time, care, and money to restore the building to a state of grace, community and creativity. This is a poetic cycle in four songs echoing the story of Mr P and his Ballet Lab.

The Temperance Hall on Napier Street has been a performance venue for most of its history. In the 1990s it was known as Napier Street Theatre and ran as a venue for hire. Here we present a fun parody of the well-known musical, Phantom of the Opera, in celebration of the shenanigans which went on there. It was inspired by a story about the day when a sewing machine was plugged in and blew a fuse, leaving the venue in total blackout.

In 1980 a daring Frenchman created the Australian Nouveau Theatre as a place to explore European drama in an Australia-centric Melbourne theatre scene. In 1981 the Temperance Hall became their home and took on the name Anthill Theatre. It remained theirs until 1992 when they relocated to an unsuitable habitat and became extinct. Our improvisation honours this heritage with Pirandello's study on madness (Enrico IV) as the starting point. Goodness only knows where it will end though...

The Temperance Hall was first constructed on it's current site in 1863 by the Emerald Hill Total Abstinence Society. From its inception it was used as a community space for meetings, concerts and other social activities. For a century the Temperance movement in Victoria had a strong hold on Melbourne, achieving restricted trading hours from 1915 through to 1963. Thus emerged the phenomena known as the 6 O'Clock Swill and a cultural legacy of entrenched binge drinking. Here is the Temperance story - the good, the bad and the present.

Emerald Hill is a glorious name for a beautiful area settled by English migrants, but in Australia our flora has a more subdued, silver sheen to match the hotter climes of the nation. Different Shades is a gentle teaching ballad exploring how the simple colour green can express so much about our location in the world.

On Valentine's Day in the year 1802, Captain Murray sailed the Lady Nelson into Port Phillip, bringing Englishmen to these shores for the first time. Over the following three days, they made contact with the local Boon Wurrung mob. The Captain's Log records of the events express the overwhelming virtue of the explorers and the double-dealing bad will of the native inhabitants. Terror Billius provides an alternate reading of those events.

Don't worry, though, the collection is dropping very, very, soon!
You can read the transcript here.
